Now Susan:
Personally, I feel Sirius died because he was Sirius.  He cared 
deeply for Harry.  In GOF he came out of hiding to hide in Hogsmeade 
to be closer to Harry.  He showed up at the TWT as a dog to see 
Harry.  In OOP he went to Kings Cross as the dog to be with Harry.  
He shows up in the fireplace to talk to Harry.  I follows his 
personality to run out of Grimauld Place to try to help Harry.  No, 
he was not happy in Grimauld Place at all but I don't think it would 
have mattered where he was, if he knew what was going on he would 
have gone to the MOM to help Harry.
Just my take on Sirius.
